Bristol City are within seven points of the leaders after a 3-0 victory at Lewes, where all the goals came in the final 20 minutes. Ffion Morgan broke the deadlock and then netted a second from 25 yards, before Abi Harrison dispossessed the Rooks’ keeper to round off the scoring.
Durham are up to fourth after a 2-1 win at Blackburn, where they led at the break from a Rio Hardy effort. Rovers replied early in the second half through a Natasha Fenton free kick but the Wildcats won it soon after the hour mark, Beth Hepple’s cross nodded on by Sarah Wilson and bundled home by Liz Ejupi.
Sunderland rose to ninth spot with a 2-0 defeat of Charlton Athletic, as Neve Herron struck twice after the interval. Herron got her first when following up a blocked shot and converted a late penalty after Holly Manders was brought down in the box.
